RE: What happened in Mannheim (Germany)? Islamist knife attack in weapons ban zone in Germany. Reaction of politicians: even more weapons ban zones and stricter gun laws 🙈

My point was that among those that proselytise, whatever religion or cult that may be, the Islamists (we are talking about) are the only ones that are consistently violent.
I am not into discussing Heresies, there are libraries full of one and the other accusing each other of being heretics. Bible studies are a slippery slope and should not be attempted by amateurs. Why do I say that? Because my academic path included Anthropology (both cultural and social), and as a side I also did Religious Studies (and assisted one of the Professors in writing his book). Most sources searched out by amateurs are 'amateurish' and not considered reliable and useful for academic studies. Again, many of those that are supposed to be 'serious' sources are but taken out of context to use as a club to beat the opposition - again, as I said before, books about heresies are a dime a dozen, and in those so called 'religious bookstores' you find mostly junk of the worse kind. .... and Charles Russell was an amateur that founded the 'Russellites' out of a amateur Bible studies class, later known as Jehovas. The supposed 'connection' of Russell with the Freemasons is a red herring believed by some conspiracy theorists of the time, since once he spoke at a masonic temple (1913). But there are no records of him ever being a freemason. References to pyramid power have nothing to do with the masons and are found among many esoteric and new age movements. Heck, there are those that even take David Icke serious #facepalm

The best way to sort out the rubbish is to do your research at the library of an accredited and reputable academic institution.

Sort:  

Then you are a really great student and certainly know a lot about what you are writing.
I think God has always called amateurs who didn't have such great promotional status because amateurs didn't lack humility to mature true fruit in ministry.

Who knows, you will surely know what is right and wrong. Have a good day and study the system diligently.
